After my visit to the steelworks last Friday, my good friend and neighbour, Andrew Percy, and I went to Downing Street again this morning to talk again to the PM about steel.
As always I was absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to visit the steelworks last week, and I’d like to thank everyone who took time out of their day to show us around the rod mill and caster 5. We had some really interesting discussions.
Following the Chancellor's Budget, I am pleased to see that the Transport Secretary has outlined further details on tonnage tax reform. You can read the Secretary's letter to MPs here:
Trade Secretary, Liz Truss has today laid legislation that will expand her powers to maintain crucial steel safeguards on products made in Scunthorpe. This follows a campaign led by myself and neighbouring MP Andrew Percy on this issue.
I am working with colleagues, the local steelworks and Ministers to preserve steel safeguards on a number of products produced locally. Consultations are ongoing and I am determined to ensure that the industry is not at a disadvantage to the rest of the world.
